La Tulipe Noire has had three runs on testing ground, leading for a long way when tackling an extended mile at Galway last time. Shangrilama would have a chance on her close second at Thurles but then finished last in a Leopardstown nursery. Tabuk looks best of Gavin Cromwell's trio after a fair debut here a fortnight ago while Aussie Girl found 6f too sharp here earlier this month in a race that is working out well. Owner and trainer Barry Connell wouldn't be known for his two-year-olds but Market House is related to seven winners and Seamie Heffernan is a positive booking. Joseph O'Brien is still firing the winners in and DEN OF INIQUITY, a half-sister to two winning milers, may be good enough in a moderate opener.
